Title: Professional Gambler Alleges Long-Term Partnership with Golfer Phil Mickelson in New Book
Subtitle: Claims of Massive Wagering and Denials Surround Golf Pro as Revelations Surface
In a groundbreaking new book set to hit the shelves soon, professional gambler Billy Walters unveils a shocking five-year gambling partnership with none other than renowned golfer Phil Mickelson. The revelation has sent shockwaves through the sports world, adding another layer to Mickelson’s past struggles with gambling addiction.
According to Walters, Mickelson was involved in over 7,000 wagers spanning football, basketball, and baseball between 2010 and 2014. Contrary to previous reports suggesting losses of around $40 million, Walters claims that the losses accumulated by Mickelson may actually exceed a staggering $100 million. Such substantial figures raise questions about the golfer’s financial dealings during that period.
One particularly eyebrow-raising allegation involves the 2012 Ryder Cup. Walters asserts that Mickelson called him, requesting a bet of a whopping $400,000 on the US team. However, Walters declined his request, and Europe ultimately emerged victorious. Mickelson categorically denies ever placing a wager on the prestigious tournament, further muddling the unfolding saga.
While the PGA Tour has refrained from issuing a statement regarding these claims, Celebrity Beauty Buzz has reached out to Mickelson’s representatives for confirmation or clarification. How the golfer responds to these accusations could greatly impact his reputation within the golfing community and beyond.
Mickelson’s penchant for gambling is not entirely unknown. The champion golfer has been open about his struggles with addiction in the past and has voluntarily sought therapy to address this issue. Still, the extent of his wagering activities during his partnership with Walters has left many bewildered and concerned.
Notably, Walters, renowned as the “most dangerous sports bettor in Nevada,” has a controversial history. In 2017, he was convicted of insider trading charges. However, his sentence was commuted by former President Donald Trump in 2021. In his book, Walters even suggests that Mickelson could have avoided his prison sentence by cooperating with the FBI and sharing vital information.
Adding to the storm of controversy surrounding Mickelson, his involvement with the LIV Golf series, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, has drawn criticism from groups representing 9/11 attack survivors. The PGA Tour’s partnership with LIV Golf has sparked outrage, as questions arise about the connections between sports, money, and politics.
As the world eagerly awaits Mickelson’s response, the revelations in Walters’ book are likely to have far-reaching consequences. This exposé not only sheds light on the dark side of professional gambling but also raises concerns about transparency and ethics within the golfing industry. Stay tuned for further updates as the story continues to unfold.
